Man shoots dead partner in Noida after she refuses to marry him

Station House Officer of Noida Phase 2 police station, Vidhiyanchal Tiwari, identified the woman as Sonu (25), a resident of Amroha district in Uttar Pradesh. “She worked as a domestic help and stayed in the rented accommodation with her two sisters and a brother. The accused wanted to marry her but she was not ready and this became an issue…,” he added.

Tiwari said that around 7.30 pm on Friday, a call was received from one of Sonu’s sisters who alleged that she had been shot. “On reaching the spot, we found her shot in the chest… We took her to the hospital where she was declared dead,” he added.

Police said Sonu and Krishna, who hailed from Bihar, earlier worked together at a factory and had been in a relationship since then. Krishna was allegedly pressuring her to marry him, and her refusal is suspected to have led to the shooting, officers said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Noida) Shakti Mohan Avasthy said, “Preliminary inquiry suggested that Krishna visited the woman’s rented room earlier in the day, where an argument ensued, leading to the shooting. The accused fled the scene soon after the incident.”

“An FIR has been registered, and multiple police teams have been formed to arrest the accused,” he added.

A forensic team examined the crime scene, and the body was sent for a postmortem examination after completing legal formalities.
